Woman Who Claimed She Was Attacked With Acid Actually Burned Herself: Cops

A New York woman who reportedly told police she was the victim of an acid attack has recanted her story, cops said. Lizzie Dunn, 52, told CBS New York she was attacked Monday morning in Staten Island by a stranger who, she claimed, tossed a caustic substance in her face, inflicting serious burns. Dunn told police at the time that she was alone at a bus stop around 11 a.m. when a woman asked her for cigarettes and money.
